For the Cake Base
  • 1 box Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake Mix Use homemade for a personal touch.
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk Vital for the poke filling.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Caramel Sundae Topping Homemade caramel for a richer taste.
For the Topping
  • 1 tub Whipped Topping Opt for fat-free if desired.
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans Omit for nut-free variations.
  • 1 cup Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Use regular for a chunkier texture.
For Drizzling
  • 1 cup Salted Caramel Sauce Adjust amount to your liking.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and cooking spray.
  2. Combine the devil’s food chocolate cake mix with package ingredients. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28-32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes evenly across the surface with a wooden spoon handle about 1 inch apart.
  4. Mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sundae topping together. Pour over warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  5. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  6. Spread whipped topping over the cake, then sprinkle with chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  8. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Poke holes close to the edges for optimal caramel infusion. Check baking doneness early to prevent overbaking. Allowing the cake to chill overnight enhances flavor development.
